Subject: [Leica] 8 years in the making: here it is.

The Leica Users Group Project book: The Family of Man 2 Project is ready for 
purchase. It is a big book 318 pages and over 500 images from many of us 
here on the group. The book is the publication of 5 years of work from 2000, 
and after a few attempts to have it published by commercial groups, it is 
now self published here. The LUG has been using BLURB to make year books and 
personal records, but no LUG book has been on this scale. It is not cheap. 
Being 13 by 11 inches and 318 pages, its a large work, BUT I think it works 
well. I know I will have made mistakes etc, BUT it is now up to you to 
decide;

I am trying to make a smaller cheaper version, encouraged by Steve Barbour, 
but there are a few technical problems, that I will ask the group to try 
solving. Until then, this is your chance to see work from Ted, Tina, John, 
George and Ringo.

Cheers and here's luck: let me know what you think
